As I pointed out earlier with the Nature Article, population growth equations are well established in science. If you can read the code, here is one:
import java.util.scanner;
public class Population
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int Size,
Year,
increase,
number,
Temp;
String input; // To Hold the user's input
//Create a Scanner object for keyboard input.
Scanner Keyboard = new scanner(System.in);
int startingSize = 0, dailyIncrease = 0, numberOfDays = 0;
int temp = 0;
//accept initial user input here
while (startingSize < 2)
{
System.out.print("Please enter a number that is greater than 1 for the population size: ");
startingSize = keyboardInput.nextInt(System.in);
}
while (yearlyIncrease < 0)
{
System.out.print("Enter a positive integer for the population size increase: ");
yearlyIncrease = keyboardInput.nextInt(System.in);
}
//do the same while loop for numberOfDays as a positive number > 0
temp = startingSize;
yearlyIncrease = yearlyIncrease + 1;
for(int i = 0; i < numberOfYears; i++)
{
System.out.println("Year " + i);
System.out.println("Number " + temp);
temp = temp * yearlyIncrease;
}
I can tell you right now I have more in common with a recent Mexican immigrant I see while I am out fishing than I do with some Portland hipster.
